Life Tattoo Ideas

Tattoos that represent life can be presented in a literal, interpretive, or figurative manner. Trees are the most common representations of life in body art. Abstract trees of life in formations representing geometric shapes leave a lot of room for unique or personal elements to be added in.

For women, those aspiring to become mothers can represent life by getting an abstract interpretation of fallopian tubes with an image of the Greek deity Phanes. Phanes represents procreation and new life. Another option for tattoos that represent life using mythology would be the Catholic patron saint of pregnancy and mothers, St. Anne looking down toward a blooming garden.

Lotus flowers are unisex and represent life and new beginnings. You can use several lotus flowers to create a unique design, use it abstractly with embedded images, or make it big, bold, and noticeable. It is common to see a lotus flower in combination with other elements to tell a complete story with the tattoo.
